I'm just drift-wood on the river floating down the tide I don't care where this old river, carries me I keep drifting just because my heart is broken inside And I'm tired of wishing for what can not be I may meet some bit of drift-wood lost same as I Share a hand shake and a tender tear or two But It's always good luck now we got to say good-bye I must wander on to keep my ron-da-voo Though I drift through town and city I can never stay For I find no place to call my home sweet home I don't ask for help or pitty I just go my way All I'm praying for is peace to dream alone I'm just drift-wood on the river and I'm drifting on Till this weary river meets the deep blue sea Where the deep blue sea may help me to forget some-one Yes the careless one who has forgotton me In my heart I don't feel bitter over what has been I feel sorry for the one I must forget And instead of being some-one with the world to win I'm just drift-wood on the river of regret
